Archietects of Humanitarian Crisis

(a historical glimpse)
-humanity-

*The Christian era began with the
greatest sin against humanity.

*This poem is dedicated to all
serving and protecting the
¨Basic Rights of Mankind¨.

Once, our planet was replenished
now suffers from a moral blemish.

After the Flood many nations strolled
some didn´t want true history told.

All mankind have got to realize
humanity has been vandalized.

A few condemmed HIM to a Cross
and mankind became a hope lost.

HIS prophecy was like no other
a blood bonding all as brothers.

Some nations lied about HIS color
later protrayed HIM as another.

So, was it hate, shame or pride
HIS face they´ve tried to hide.

Something embedded itself in most minds
that has separated mankind over time.

From images of Christ to the Sphinx
mankind altered their face with ink.

Societies formed across the land
many became marauding bands.

Enslaved some to learn their ways
others forced to serve many days.

Learning finally opened a few minds
forbidden to most throughout time.

Conquering became a lust
many thought they must.

Barbarians embraced warfare
believing in war over prayer.

Some journeyed to build
others decided to kill.

Robbing others of most their gold
slaughtering most young and old
another story that wasn´t told.

Oppressed many thinking it was nice
as humans became their sacrifice.

Trade increased across the land
because of deceit and their plan.

When businesses began to boom
corruption shot to the moon.

America, land of morality and hope
still someone´s signing for dope.

Capital´ism made a few very rich
while shoving most into a ditch.

Old governments embraced the Klan
needed blood on another´s hand.

Kept society busy with santa claus
with an origin spiritually false.

Knowing global warming was real
wonder how many that will kill.

Some learning secrets of the brain
others driving societies insane.

With little future left in sight
hopes dwindled like the Knights.

Then, later came Robin Hood
with good news in the woods.

Someone reformed human rights
but gave up mankind´s fight.

No need for humantarian crises
evil plans rolled by dices.

Sinister plans between hands
slaughtering lambs of the land.

We need to fix this mess
before we come to rest.

Most of world history twisted
someone changed and fixed it.

For some nations it was too late
hatred sealing their past fate.

Africa was a continent very rich
now realizing it is in a ditch
never should´ve trusted Mitch.

I even heard the Rossette Stone
was hidden in someone´s home.

The secrets of Giza
now with Mona Liza.

And, the Sphinx
has missing links.

Pyramids contained a sacred ¨Key¨
only the Royal Family can see.

But, someone stole ¨Pandora´s Box¨
with final desination Fort Knox.

Even, the Lord´s ¨Holy Grail¨
was traveling by Express Mall.

Most gold, and precious artifacts
also found stolen, and hijacked.

It´s hard for most to understand
they kept up busy with their plan.

So, in this life we must cast our vote
moving forward with faith and hope.

Those affected have become a thorn
they hunger from dusk to dawn.

World economies causing a recess
their pride, greed still a mess.

The Middle East has become a feast
wonder who planned that piece.

They say Mohammed started this fuss
only a few point a finger at Guss.

But, differences in some religions
sometimes affect our conditions.

Civilizations began in Africa and Irak
millions destituted still in a sack.

Americas to China suffer similiar pain
but some view them as a social stain.

There was oil trade for food
but someone became rude.

So, once again East meets West
fighting over a treasure chest.

Expenses reaching trillions
recovery costing billions
death in the millions.

The greatest gift is charity
why concentrate on disparity.

We need to fix this mess
or earth soon to rest.

Mismanagement of world funds
resources available by tons.

The poor and depair need more
someone still locking doors.

Feeling no guilt with pride
and the fortunes they hide.

Corruption and terrorism sown
a few of government´s own.

Someone´s selfish plans ahead
have now made us very afraid
maybe baked or nuked instead.

Many seek nourishment from dirt
because their lil stomach hurts.

Most of the time with nothing to eat
weeping for a peaceful night sleep.

The 3 pathways to Heaven are narrow
selfish can learn from the sparrow.

When the Heaven splits and divide
some gonna try to run and hide
knowing they deceived and lied.

So, don´t worry about a thing tonight
soon GOD will make things alright.

Then, all children will be able to play
the Prince of Peace will come to stay.

Remember, before it´s over
they too needed a shoulder.
